Anyone knows this Allen & Heath mixer?

[christiaan]

Anyone familiar with this mixer?
16 channels, 4 buses, 3 aux, 3eq + midsweep.
Apart from that, this picture is all I got.
Someone is offering it used for €250,- ($275,-) and I wonder if it's a good deal.
Any comments are welcome.

Maybe email the guy and ask him what the type is?

Easier than I thought! Check this out:

Chris, you're my hero.

Still curious if anyone has some experience with this mixer to share and comments whether it's a good deal or not.

I have no experience with this board, but i do have a mixwiz 16:2dx, which I bought new for just about $1000. If the quality of this is anywhere near the board I've got then $275 seems like a good deal

A buddy of mine who produces local folk shows for some pretty big names - John Prine, Michelle Shocked, Ani DiFranco...- just bought an Allen and Heath board as an upgrade from his Mackie. He feels it is sonically quite superior, especially the eq section.

don't know exactly how his compares with the one you are looking at, but maybe this info will help...
